Are the riots over? Say, maybe the business owners should protest.
To: Libloather
The business owners shall soon receive offers they can’t refuse, or better not refuse.

“60 nights of civil rights protests in the citys core” Still in denial.That was terrorism, not protests.

I guess the 'burn it down so a new forest can grow' strategy didn't quite work out as planned.
Who is going to invest a penny in that $h!thole?

Beat the crap out of the rioters, push out all the bums, and let businesses move in. It aint hard. It could be done in days. Easily.

We just need it quickly, said Adam Milne, the owner of Old Town Pizza & Brewing, whose downtown location is currently closed. A lot of business owners are stuck trying to decide what to do. If this plan gets developed in three months, its going to be too late for a lot of businesses.Don't be so naive. That would be my recommendation. By the time that Wheeler figures out that a major city actually needs police, the rioters will burn you out.

Who the hell would want to try to have a business there if the mayor and city counsel won’t defend them against looting and arson?

There’s nothing left to revive. Not to mention, who would want to visit that shithole.

If I visit Oregon, it will be to windsurf in the Columbia River Gorge, or to hang out with the seals and sea lions on the coast (we’re bros). Not to go to Portland.

Who is going to go down there to eat? There was a wonderful restaurant that was my very favorite but why would I risk going down there in the evening only to be harassed by BLM or antifa? I don’t want to end up in someone’s awful video.

They can’t erase memories. And those memories will last for at least a generation. Richmond, Minneapolis, Chicago are in the same jam.

Yes, it IS terrorism. The unwashed, the stupid sheep in this country are too dumb to recognize there is a difference between a protest and a riot. Others like MSNBC and CNN will never use the word, riot.

The excitement of nightly battles with police is like a salt lick for the maladjusted and mis-medicated, AKA the Left.
